Unraveling platform strategies : A review from an organizational ambidexterity perspectivehttps://lup.lub.lu.se/search/publication/da5de52a-938e-4f47-b7a7-42cc392f96c5
Wan, XingCenamor, JavierParker, GeoffreyVan Alstyne, Marshall2017-05-02Platform strategies, which highlight the interdependence in and evolution of business ecosystems, are increasingly relevant for sustainable business models in the digital era. So far, platform research has existed as a fragmented body of insights from different fields, but an integrated theoretical perspective can lead to a more coherent understanding of the research overall. Organizational ambidexterity emphasizes the balance between exploration and exploitation, which is particularly conducive to understanding the sustainability of a firm. Using an organizational ambidexterity perspective, the authors analyze five platform strategies: pricing, openness, integration, differentiation, and envelopment. This paper provides a systematic review of the theoretical and empirical studies in leading management, economics, and information systems journals from 2000 to 2016. The findings show that platform strategies can help platform owners achieve ambidexterity by domain, temporal, and organizational separation. Finally, this paper proposes an agenda for future research.http://lup.lub.lu.se/record/da5de52a-938e-4f47-b7a7-42cc392f96c5http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/su9050734scopus:85019069241engSustainability (Switzerland); 9(5), no 734 (2017)ISSN: 2071-1050Företagsekonomidifferentiationenvelopmentintegrationopennessorganizational ambidexterityplatform strategiespricingUnraveling platform strategies : A review from an organizational ambidexterity perspectivecontributiontojournal/systematicreviewinfo:eu-repo/semantics/othertextThe use of sociocultural valuation in sustainable environmental managementhttps://lup.lub.lu.se/search/publication/570ea815-59e9-4b3f-b9b3-ef2d30bc34e9
Ruiz-Frau, A.Krause, T.Marbà, N.2018-02-01The integration of sociocultural valuations (SCV) within an ecosystem services (ES) framework is increasingly being required in environmental management contexts. Yet, this raises important questions: how do we approach SCV when people's perceptions are based on unbalanced information and advocate for detrimental actions? How then should SCV results be used? Should they be used to steer decisions? We use an example from a SCV of ES provided by seagrass meadows in the North Western Mediterranean to provide recommendations on SCV integration into the management of a coastal ecosystem. Our results show that societal perceptions and preferences for specific management actions are generally built on unbalanced and incomplete knowledge. Consequently, establishing management decisions on SCV could lead to detrimental outcomes, potentially undermining long-term environmental and social benefits. We highlight the importance of integrating SCV into management design to tailor management to specific contexts. However, we also show that SCV should be considered carefully when deciding on management actions and that the integration of SCV outcomes has to be assessed with regards to the level of knowledge among society.http://lup.lub.lu.se/record/570ea815-59e9-4b3f-b9b3-ef2d30bc34e9http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoser.2017.12.013scopus:85040071800engEcosystem Services; 29, pp 158-167 (2018)ISSN: 2212-0416MiljövetenskapMiljöledningDisserviceIntegrationPerceptionPosidonia oceanicaSeagrassThe use of sociocultural valuation in sustainable environmental managementcontributiontojournal/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articletextSupply chain management integration: a critical analysishttps://lup.lub.lu.se/search/publication/a55feb73-fa16-44a8-908e-f02f9b159eed
Näslund, DagHulthén, Hana2012Purpose
The purpose is to examine various aspects of integration in order to structure and define the concept of supply chain management integration.
Design/methodology/approach
The study is based on an extensive literature review in three steps and a series of interviews with leading SCM consulting firms.
Findings
We found limited empirical research discussing SCM integration beyond the dyadic level and there is a lack of empirical evidence supporting the claimed benefits of supply chain management integration, especially beyond the dyadic level. There is also a lack of detailed frameworks and concrete recommendations for how supply chains can become more integrated. In fact, there is significant confusion regarding the term SCM integration and thus we propose a definition of Supply Chain Management Integration.
Research limitations/implications
In terms of limitations, it is feasible that an extended literature review could have provided additional information. Similarly, additional interviews would have been preferable, yet given the level of expertise; and the access granted, we believe the current number of respondents is sufficient.
Practical implications
Our findings, and our effort to structure and define the term supply chain management integration, can facilitate organizational developments in this area.
Originality/value
Academic literature suggests that integration is a requirement for Supply Chain Management. However, integrated supply chain management is difficult to define and it seems hard to operationalize in practice. One could also argue that there has been a significant amount of hype regarding the potential as well as the results of SCM integration.application/pdfhttp://lup.lub.lu.se/record/3738269http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/14635771211257963other:10.1108/14635771211257963scopus:84865362248enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessBenchmarking; 19(4/5), pp 481-501 (2012)ISSN: 1463-5771Transportteknik och logistikSupply chain managementIntegrationInformation sharingCollaborationSupply chain management integration: a critical analysiscontributiontojournal/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articletextNaturalization and Earnings: A Denmark-Sweden Comparisonhttps://lup.lub.lu.se/search/publication/7728c123-283c-47e5-96cb-ba4e55a8d86c
Helgertz, JonasBevelander, PieterTegunimataka, Anna2014The determinants and consequences of the naturalization of immigrants is a hot topic in the political debate in Europe. This article compares the effect of naturalization on the income attainment of immigrants in two Scandinavian countries, Denmark and Sweden, using longitudinal register data from 1986 and onward. Sweden is characterized by low obstacles to naturalization, and existing studies provide inconclusive evidence regarding the impact of naturalization on labor market outcomes. Denmark is instead characterized by higher barriers to naturalization, as well as a virtual inexistence of previous studies on the topic. Results, obtained through individual fixed-effect regression analysis, suggest similar effects in both countries. A consistent naturalization premium is detected for immigrants of Asian and African descent, but not for any other immigrant group. The similarity across contexts arguably questions the use of more stringent naturalization laws to promote the economic integration of immigrants.http://lup.lub.lu.se/record/4712964http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10680-014-9315-zwos:000341577600004scopus:84956810576engEuropean Journal of Population; 30(3), pp 337-359 (2014)ISSN: 0168-6577Ekonomisk historiaMigrationCitizenshipEarningsComparative studiesIntegrationNaturalizationNaturalization and Earnings: A Denmark-Sweden Comparisoncontributiontojournal/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articletext
